Carapace broadly pyriforrn, with the surface granular and the later- 

 al margins strongly spinate. The rostrum consists of two short stout 

 slightly incurved spines, the outer border of which carries one or two 

 accessory spines. The orbit is formed by a little-prominent supra-ocular 

 eave, and a sharply bilobed post-ocular tooth, with a broad spine in the 

 interval between the two : the eye-stalks are stout and the cornea ter- 

 minal, not ventral, in position. The basal antennal joint is somewhat 

 narrowed anteriorly, and ends in two sharp spines — as in the genera 

 immediately preceding : the mobile portion of the antenua is freely ex- 

 posed. Iu the external maxillipeds the merus is rather broader than 

 the ischium, and the palp is attached to the antero-internal angle of the 

 merus. 



The chelipeds have the merus and carpus granular or spiny ; the 

 palm long, smooth and slender ; and the fingers longitudinally channel- 

 led in their distal half — this being specially marked in the adult male, 

 in which also the chelipeds are longer and stouter than the other legs. 



The ambulatory legs are stout, have cylindrical joints, and decrease 

 gradually in length. 



The abdomen in both sexes consists of seven distinct segments.
